البيهقي:١٧٩٠٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ عَلَى عَمَلٍ فَجَاءَ يَأْخُذُ عَهْدَهُ قَالَ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ ؓ بِبَعْضِ وَلَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ قَالَ أَتُقَبِّلُ هَذَا؟ مَا قَبَّلْتُ وَلَدًا قَطُّ فَقَالَ

عُمَرُ فَأَنْتَ بِالنَّاسِ أَقَلُّ رَحْمَةً هَاتِ عَهْدَنَا لَا تَعْمَلْ لِي عَمَلًا أَبَدًا
